My new netbook

[DarkPenguin]

I will not pay $80 just to be able to change my desktop image.  Of all the features Microsoft left out of Windows 7 starter edition the only one I want is that.  I will not pay 30% the cost of the netbook just to get rid of that f'ing Asus sea shell background.

Microsoft will not break me!

Just junk the junk OS & download Linux for free.

Hack it into an OS-X machine.

Windows 7 is gold.  Pick your flavor, but it's anything but junk.
Total game changer and quite unexpected from Microsoft. Really surprized.

I'll bet someone has hacked the location of that image, which might let you change it.
